National Beer Day 2024 holds a special place in the hearts of beer fans across the United States. Celebrated annually on April 7, this day is not just an excuse to enjoy a cold one, but a nod to a pivotal moment in American history.
But why April 7? The answer takes us back to the early 20th century, to the end of a dark period known as Prohibition.
On April 7, 1933, the Cullen-Harrison Act came into effect, marking the first legal allowance of beer sales in the United States after Prohibition banned all alcoholic beverages.
This act permitted the sale of beer with an alcohol content of 3.2% by weight (approximately 4% by volume), a significant moment leading to the full repeal of Prohibition later in the year. April 7th symbolizes the resurgence of the beer industry in the U.S., making it a day of great celebration for beer lovers and brewers alike. It’s a day that commemorates freedom, the joy of brewing, and the simple pleasure of sharing a beer with friends.
When is International Beer Day?
International Beer Day, unlike its American counterpart, is celebrated globally and seeks to unite the world under the banner of beer.
This day falls on the first Friday of August each year, making it a perfect time for summer festivities. International Beer Day was created to celebrate the craft of brewing, to enjoy beer with friends, and to honor those who produce and serve our beer.
It’s a day for beer lovers everywhere to raise a pint to the international spirit of beer, appreciating the art and dedication that goes into every bottle, can, and keg.
